#Gta 4 securom not activating software#
I don't have anything drive emulation software installed like demons-tools. I've had to download cracks for legitimately purchased games in the past (FEAR!), just to get them to run and this is becoming a regular occurrence. Most SecuROM implementations aren't all that bad (still hate having to put the CDs in my drive when the entire game is already on my hard drive), but some still give PC games bad mojo (Spore, for example). If the goal is to create a fanbase who trusts you to deliver products that give them consistently pleasant experiences, it falls short. Whether or not it protects revenue streams doesn't matter to the consumer.

Why? Because the CD wouldn't allow me to rip the songs to my Hard Drive, preferring to install a Sony rootkit and offering crappy 128kb versions instead.ĭRM/copy-protection shows contempt for your customer. The 256kb/s MP3 version of My Morning Jacket's Z I downloaded before buying the CD was more valuable than the CD I purchased. The pirated version is more valuable to the consumer than the legitimate version.
Publishers seem hell bent on removing value instead of adding it.
The point is, there are ways to add value to legitimacy and there ways to take value away from it.
